Tools shouldn't get in your way Rather than clutter your workspace with floating panels, toolbars and icons, Brackets focuses on providing "Quick Edit" in-line views that provide context-sensitive access to your content, without taking you away from your code.

Works with your browser The browser is your design view. Brackets hooks up directly to the browser, allowing you to design and develop in the same environment that you deploy.

Version 1.2:

New

Code Editing

Drag-and-drop to move selected text: Enable the dragDropText preference to drag and drop any selected text. Works with multiple selections too!

Known Issues

Activity Monitor in Mavericks (OS X 10.9) says the Brackets Helper process is "Not Responding" even when it's working normally (#5794). You can safely ignore this unless Brackets is actually failing to respond when you click or type text.

Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.
